  • Page 5: Information On This Document

    1 Information on this Document Validity This document is applicable for device type "CLCON-10" and device type "CLCON-S-10"* (SMA Cluster Controller). It describes the Modbus interface of the SMA Cluster Controller, the variant of the "Modbus ® Application Protocol" implemented by SMA, and the corresponding pa- rameters, measured values and data exchange formats.

    SMA Modbus profile and these can be addressed via unit IDs (see Section 3.5 "Addressing and Data Transmission in the Modbus Protocol", page 12). To enable access to data of an SMA device, a special gateway is required and this is provided by way of the Cluster Controller.

  • Page 11 SMA Solar Technology AG Product Description Example 2: PV System Topology from the Perspective of the Modbus Protocol In the following example, an inverter is assigned to a unit ID between 3 and 247 in each case. This way the inverter data can be addressed in the Modbus protocol. Unit ID 1 represents the gateway to the Modbus protocol and unit ID 2, the PV system parameters.

  • Page 12: Addressing And Data Transmission In The Modbus Protocol

    3.5.1 Unit IDs The Unit ID is a superordinate addressing type in the Modbus protocol. The SMA Modbus protocol has 247 unit IDs, of which, 245 can be assigned to individual devices. If a unit ID is assigned to a device, then the parameters and measured values of this device can be accessed.

  • Page 13: Assignment Of The Modbus Register To Unit Ids

    In the assignment table "SMA devices (unit ID = 3 to 247)", the parameters and measured values intended for all SMA devices are stored. The individual SMA devices use a subset of these for their device-specific parameters and measured values. Information on firmware versions and device- specific Modbus registers of SMA products can be found on our product pages or Modbus page at www.SMA-Solar.com.

  • Page 14: Reading And Writing Of Data

    To prevent inconsistencies, data blocks of associated registers or register ranges must be read or written consecutively. The 4 bytes of a 64-bit Modbus register must, for example, be read with an operation in a 64-bit SMA data type. Error message on writing multiple Modbus registers as a data block...

  • Page 15: Sma Data Types And Nan Values

    3.7 SMA Data Types and NaN Values The following table shows the data types used in the SMA Modbus profile and compares these to possible NaN values. The SMA data types are listed in the assignment tables in the Type column.

  • Page 17: Commissioning And Configuration

    4.2 Information on Changing Unit IDs You can change the unit IDs of SMA devices. A change is required, for example, if additional or changed SMA devices are connected to the Cluster Controller after activation of the Modbus servers. By way of the automatic detection of the PV system, additional or changed devices are assigned the Modbus unit ID = 255 (NaN).

  • Page 18: Changing Unit Ids Via The Gateway

    4.3 Changing Unit IDs via the Gateway 4.3.1 Reading Out the Gateway You can read out the individual unit IDs of the SMA devices from the gateway, for example, using a SCADA system. Accessing the gateway You access the gateway via the IP address of the Cluster Controller, under the unit ID = 1.

  • Page 19: Changing A Unit Id In The Gateway

    SMA Solar Technology AG Commissioning and Configuration 4.3.2 Changing A Unit ID in the Gateway You change a unit ID by writing it to the relevant Modbus address. All three of the Modbus regis- ters that belong to a device-unit-ID assignment must be transmitted in a single data block, although only the register with the unit ID is writable.

  • Page 20: Changing Unit Ids Via The Xml File Usrplant.xml

    This file contains an excerpt of the gateway (see Section 5.2 "Gateway (Unit ID = 1)", page 24). If new SMA devices are added or if SMA devices are replaced, these are respec- tively added to the available XML structure of this file with unit ID = 255 by the Cluster Controller.

  • Page 22: Resetting The Cluster Controller To The Default Settings

    4.5 Resetting the Cluster Controller to the Default Settings By resetting the Cluster Controller to the default settings, the previously assigned unit IDs are delet- ed and reassigned – file sysplant.xml is therefore rewritten. As a result, all connected SMA de- vices are assigned a new unit ID.
